What was the Porsche 919 Hybrid era?

The [Porsche 919 Hybrid](/cars/porsche-919-hybrid) era ran from 2014 to 2017 in the WEC's LMP1-Hybrid class. The car took 16 race wins in four WEC seasons, three consecutive 24 Hours of Le Mans victories (2015, 2016, 2017), three Manufacturers' championships (2015, 2016, 2017) and three Drivers' titles. Porsche withdrew from LMP1-Hybrid at the end of 2017, citing budget reallocation toward Formula E. The 919 then ran a separate 919 Hybrid Evo programme in 2018 that set the all-time Nordschleife lap record at 5:19.55.
